Particularly striking is the   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">heart-shaped pattern on the abdomen<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which gives this species its special charm and makes it immediately unmistakable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The animals remain with a body length of about 1.5<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> to 2 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> very small, which makes them ideal for <\/span><span class=\"s1\">nano terrariums<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  suitable. At the same time, they show a contrasting coloration, because the body appears dark, while the abdomen with   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">orange to reddish patterns<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  is provided. This creates a very decorative overall look. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Cyriocosmus elegans<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> lives predominantly <\/span><span class=\"s1\">bottom dwelling<\/span><span class=\"s2\">However, it shows a slight digging behavior and creates small retreats in the substrate. You should therefore offer it sufficient opportunities to hide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A terrarium from about <\/span><span class=\"s1\">20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 20 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\">although smaller containers may also be sufficient for individual animals. However, it is important to   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">sufficient substrate height of about 5 to 8 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\">so that the spider can dig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A suitable substrate is <\/span><span class=\"s1\">loose, burrowable substrate<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  such as forest humus or special tarantula substrate. You should also use a   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">cork bark or a small hiding place<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> which the spider will gladly accept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Temperatures can vary between <\/span><span class=\"s1\">22 and 26 \u00b0C<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> while a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">humidity of around 60-70 %.<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  is ideal. To do this, regularly spray one part of the terrarium lightly, while keeping the rest a little drier. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Feeding takes place with <\/span><span class=\"s1\">small feeder insects<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  such as micro-roaches or small cockroaches. The animals reliably accept food, but show a rather quiet hunting behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Cyriocosmus elegans<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> is considered <\/span><span class=\"s1\">calm and uncomplicated species<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which makes it ideal for beginners. At the same time, it also inspires experienced owners, as it displays very interesting behavior despite its small size. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Due to their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">unique heart drawing<\/span><span class=\"s2\">their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">compact size<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">simple posture<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> is <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Cyriocosmus elegans<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> is a perfect tarantula for anyone who wants to keep a small but particularly eye-catching animal in their terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyriocosmus elegans &#8211; Dwarf tarantula with heart pattern on the abdomen Cyriocosmus elegans is one of the best known dwarf tarantulas in the terrarium hobby and impresses above all with its unusual appearance.
